Official faces expulsion over forged passports

FOREIGN Affairs Minister Micheál Martin is expected to recommend the expulsion of an Israeli embassy official over the use of forged Irish passports in an assassination in Dubai.

Mr Martin confirmed yesterday that he would be bringing “proposals” to Cabinet shortly on how to deal with the issue.

He would not spell out what these proposals were, but a department source subsequently confirmed that the expulsion of an official from the Israeli embassy in Dublin was on the cards.
